    I turned down a gig in Cuba because they don't have 4g service. I can't be offline because of my other businesses. They need to get internet mobile savvy.

    Make no mistake…. once the American money comes in it will entrench itself into every aspect of cuban society and the people will see how much they have been missing. The youth wont give a damn about their grandfather's revolution and the govt will slowly lose its power. Then it will either get better with free open elections or we will have decades of civil unrest. With American money and products comes the cia, nsa, fbi, etc…. make no mistake.

    How is an American buying a guys classic car for lets say $100,000 and changing that cubans family for the better a problem? The sale of that old car could pay for that cubans kids college or a new home… Honestly that guy in the vid with the green hat and red start is a jerk.

    like everything else take it slow and in moderation. with the help of the internet keep it in the open. let the people who did not run and stayed in there country decide. and for those who started this mess over fifty years ago hold them accountable. but be careful  because they are some ruthless s.o.b.´s.  but all good things come with the bad. there goes my toilet paper/ used telephone book exports from here in "cali". and i bet the "cohs" and the m. c. puros prices are going up for my gringo importers. thank ceilo the chinos are all ready flooding the market with there knock-off cigars, damn.  \//,

Paramedics in Lebanon speak to BBC after Israeli strikes | BBC News

Published

on



In Lebanon, one in five people have been forced to leave their homes since fighting renewed in March.

The BBC’s Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachega joined paramedics on duty in Nabatieh – a city that was once vibrant, but is now abandoned.

Israel say some ambulances and health facilities in Lebanon are being used by Hezbollah – but paramedics say there is no evidence of this claim.

Elsewhere, the Israel Defense Forces said troops had killed more than 20 Hezbollah fighters operating from a hospital compound in Bint Jbeil on Sunday, the site of fierce fighting during the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Lebanon’s health ministry denied the claim, accusing Israel of targeting civilians and medical facilities.

Greek police using masked migrants to forcibly push back other migrants | BBC News

Published

on



Police in Greece have been recruiting migrants to violently push other migrants back across its land border with Turkey, according to wide-ranging evidence uncovered by the BBC.

Pushbacks – forcing migrants and asylum seekers back across borders without due process – are generally considered illegal under international law.

The Greek prime minister told the BBC he was “totally unaware” about allegations of the use of migrants for pushbacks, while the country’s authorities have not responded to our written detailed requests for comment.

Trump says Iran’s handling of Strait of Hormuz is ‘not the agreement we have’ | BBC News

Published

on



US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of doing a “very poor job” in handling oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz, arguing it was “not the agreement we have”.

It comes as the ceasefire between the US and Iran was agreed earlier this week, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aiming to begin direct talks with Lebanon for peaceful relations.

A US State Department official confirmed it would host a meeting next week in Washington “to discuss ongoing ceasefire negotiations with Israel and Lebanon”.

After Israeli strikes continued in Lebanon throughout Thursday, Trump said that Israel would be “scaling back” its strikes in the country to support peace talks.

Also in the programme, presenter Christian Fraser is joined by leading AI thinker Gary Marcus and Oxford University robotics expert Professor Sara Bernardini to explore what a future shaped by autonomous machines could mean for work, safety and society.

Plus, tech reporter Lara Lewington meets 19‑year‑old student Maeve O’Neil, whose smart ring detected a life‑threatening health issue before it was too late.
